He also stressed that "in this regard, contacts include banks that should participate in the rescue because economic recovery refreshes economic cycle of which the banks are an essential part," adding that "positive cooperation from all parties is a must to restore the rights of depositors."

"The government's work is currently focused on electricity file, as it costed the public treasury two billion dollars annually without finding sustainable plan," Mikati underlined.
